I am excited to announce that I will be a part of the 5th Annual Benefit Gala for the Lincoln City Cultural Center (LCCC) in Lincoln City, OR in May. This dinner and auction raises money in support of art and culture in the local, Lincoln City community. They have quite the event planned this year and if you are in town, it would be a joy to see you there! Please note – Only 100 Tickets will be sold. Saturday Evening – May 4th, 2019 The...

- Stacey Brown - Attendee at "An Affair to Remember" - Fundraiser Benefit for LCCC - Lincoln City, ORSure enjoyed your performance last night! You held the audience in the palm of your hand. It’s great how you always educate your audience. I read more about Harry Warren (Salvatore Antonio Guaragna) cool he was a pro drummer at 14! And composer of over 800 songs as you said. It was a terrific evening…. (we) enjoyed it very much . Thanks again for making “Culture of Course” shine with culture. Great job!

SE Bayles - San Jose, CAAfter SO many years, I finally had the opportunity to see you perform live. And what a fun show it was! Rocky, when you spoke of the memory work and harmonies involved in the Sinatra show I had no idea. Wow! You weren’t kidding! It was such a treat, an ear-tickling joy to hear the complexity of the arrangements and the absolutely stunning 4-part voicing. Every note hit with precision. So much so that several times during the performance I caught myself grinning from ear to ear in sheer delight a…

Elaine Wang Meyerhoffer - Independent Music ProfessionalSuper! LOVE the narrative arc. Excellently crafted. Fabulous trio and vocal quartet – you guys are nailing those complex harmonies and it is a pleasure to the ear! I especially like how the chemistry between the four of you is developing through the show. You’re in great voice and those dance moves work well!!

Nelson B. Schiller, MD - Cardiologist, UCSFYour singing was sensational. We loved the swinging arrangements and the way you crafted the medleys. Your acting was terrific. I love your Cole Porter CD. Have played it dozens of times crossing the Golden Gate bridge from home to the UCSF Mission Bay campus!

Mary Bettini - Director/Choreographer, New YorkThere is nothing more fun than a revue of well known music when it hits the mark! Rocky… a pro with such great energy who needs no roadmap around this material, knows his way around a song and can still “dish the dirt” with the rest of the company. Thank you for such a delightful, memorable evening – ol’ blue eyes would tip his fedora to you for this awesome salute to his songbook!

Tom Blank - Professor of Theatre and Film - Ohlone College, Fullerton CollegeThe show was just terrific, and you were constantly a highlight. Great voice, presence, and styling. And boy can you find your light!!!! Hard to isolate stand-out moments as the whole piece sizzled. Your “I’ll Be Seeing You” brought new depth to a familiar standard. I also enjoyed your casual but infectious interaction with the other singers – bringing such a variety of experiences to the material.

Tom Blank - Former Theatre Critic Anaheim Bulletin“One for My Baby”, was absolutely A+ ~ Your intimate story-telling and using your pianist as the bartender was inspired. It turned a routine standard into a contemporary reflection on loss.

Christine & JeffYesterday’s performance was simply stunning, enjoyable, heart-warming and lovely. Jeff and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves… Charlie Creasy’s arrangements are brilliant. The Irving Berlin Songbook contains some real memorable, beautiful pieces. Thanks for stirring our hearts with the group sing-along of God Bless America. I do hope you all get to perform this again. I know this was quite the undertaking for you along with production. My personal thank-you and big hugs for a beautiful, memorabl…

Chuck Feist - Executive Director, Siletz Bay Music FestivalRocky, THANK YOU. What a show! One donor while handing me a check said, “My wife and I would spend $400.00 in New York for a show like this, please keep bringing us this quality entertainment and we will continue supporting Siletz Bay Music Festival.” The details, the precision, the vocals, the floor show, the entertainers. WOW. THANK YOU.

Denis Moreen - Pianist, Music Director“… it was stunning, my friend! You did Cole real justice. Your up-tempos bounced and your ballads flowed. I particularly liked the introspective slower motions of several songs – nothing unhurried, everything thoughtful. I also was taken with your immediate and easy rapport with the audience. Most important, the audience was given complete honesty both in your singing and in your talking…”

Leah Wilson-VelascoRocky’s performance of An Evening of Cole Porter with the Walla Walla Symphony was fun, polished and simply delightful. Our near sold-out audience loved it and his performance brought them to their feet.

David Gomberg Easy to Love arrived today. And from the first notes of the first track, we were captivated. Remarkable!! Sinatra Sings the Select Cole Porter is no longer my favorite collection… Easy to Love is. Thanks so much for brightening a busy day!

Franki KeefeWow! Your CD is on my computer, car stereo, home stereo, and iPod and all I can say is “Wow!” All those years ago when I first heard you sing, I thought you couldn’t be better. I was wrong. Your range, energy, and emotion, together with Ron’s fabulous arrangements, combine to create a collection that could top any chart. You ARE the BEST!

Brett PaschalYour CD is awesome! I listened to it on the way to LC yesterday. There were two tracks left after I arrived, so I had to sit in the car just to hear the last two. Great job! I hope you submit this CD for Grammy considerations!
